The Secret of Indigo Moon (Dopple Ganger Chronicles) …

From best-selling author G.P. Taylor comes the highly anticipated second installment of The Dopple Ganger Chronicles, a series that combines art and traditional text to help “reluctant readers” discover the wonder of books.
Erik Morissey Ganger, famed explorer and detective (well, in his dreams), and his mischief-making sidekicks, twins Sadie and Saskia Dopple, didn’t go looking for a secret tunnel beneath the school. They never intended to make the acquaintance of a shifty private eye with a nose for trouble. It wasn’t part of the plan to come face to face with an old enemy, one with an agenda of his own that could destroy them all. And unraveling the “secret of indigo moon” was the farthest thing from their minds.
At Isambard Dunstan’s School for Wayward Children, these things just seem to happen.
In The Secret of Indigo Moon, confirmed troublemakers Erik, Sadie, and Saskia plunge headlong into a new and perilous mystery, one that challenges everything they thought they knew about their lives, themselves, and whom it’s safe to trust.

G.P. Taylor’s first volume in The Doppleganger Chronicles is “The First Escape”. The Secret of Indigo Moon picks up where the last one left off with some creepy sounds coming from the basement of Isambard Dunstan’s School for Wayward Children. And Erik Ganger, the only boy living in the school, hears everything and goes to investigate. And that begins a furious ride to discover the truth behind some recent burglaries, a missing headmistress, and the Secret of Indigo Moon. Some old characters re-surface, and some new ones are added to the mix, making this adventure just as exciting.

Like the first book, The Secret of Indigo Moon is told through a different style than I’m used to… comics, and atmospheric black and white photos. Although, I’m sure the Kids will appreciate this Comic Style of reading. It does reach right out at you with the typeset and fonts!
I suspect that it’ll work well with readers who struggle with regular chapter books.

Indications of future new mysteries are added on in the last few pages, and the Dopple twins definitely have quite a few things to think about as they prepare to embark on their next adventure, the Doppler Twins against the World!

I would advise that older kiddo’s, ages 9 and older read this series, as my youngest stated that it looked a bit scary for her.
